Sports Day 2008!!!!

All the schools in the UK a have Sports Day at the end of the school year where the kids show their athletic prowess! They do various relays, sack races, and egg and spoon races. Even the parents get into the act and have a few races!! Yes, Julia's mom and dad participated as well! (Mom LOST and dad won one and lost one!) It's all done in good fun but you can sure tell the athletes from the mathletes!!! Julia may be a bit of both.... maybe.

This week Julia's class gave a Jolly Phonics presentation to the entire school!! The nursery class did a fantastic job of showing all the other kids at St. Christina's how they learned songs for each of the letters of the alphabet. Mommy's favorite was M!

Mmmmmmmm, the mum's and dad's make many meals, many meals, many meals. The mum's and the dad's make many meals for the hungry children! MMMMMMMM!!!!

Play time!!!

We LOVE LOVE LOVE play dates!!! We recently had a really fun play date at our house with the McCarthy's (Olivia, Brenna & Amy), the Beyer's (Brooke and Ryan), and the Forrest's (Sarah, Anna & Leah). We played dress up - even Marco dressed up - games, we ran around, we danced and basically we had a great time! We also had lots of snacks, or "tea" as they say here in Merry 'Ol England! The mommy's had their own version of tea but it wasn't hot.... We LOVE play dates!!!
